Christ almighty, what is it with Americans jumping on their high-horse about guns every time a story comes up from another country like this?

You will note that Australia hasn't seen a school massacre - like ever. I don't fear sending my kids to school here.

Oh and for the completely ignorant amongst you, for your information guns are still allowed to be owned in Australia as long as one has good reason
and passes police checks. Those reasons include pest control, target shooting, hunting etc etc. I plan on getting a hunting license in the future, as
I enjoyed doing that when I was young, before the gun laws came into effect.

The difference is, I can walk outside and be in little to no fear of even hearing gunshots, let alone be shot by one.

It always makes me laugh when I see some of the US Yahoo's deriding the rest of us for letting our governments take away our guns, even though gun
ownership was NOT generally accepted or the norm anyway.

See, the US citizens still have their guns. They like to proclaim that "they can take my gun when they prise it from my cold dead hand"...
hahahahahahahaha! See, despite all the bravado, and the steady erosion of rights, criminalisation of just about everything, including the right to
even protest, those same Americans still sit on their fat arses doing nothing at all.... and they are armed to the teeth.

So, when the time comes, Americans will fall in line to give up their guns too, because it'll be the patriotic thing to do, endorsed by celebrities
and with a free pair of Air Jordans!

LMAO, they can be taken out with an 18 wheeler going 80 miles an hour crashing head on into them. Everyone inside would be flattened. Trust me. In a
SHTF scenario you will see these types of things happen as people will have nothing to lose.

Never mind.

Just to clarify. We didn't allow our government to take our guns, our government created a false flag event, and changed the law without the will of
the people to take away our guns from us. We now have an entire generation that wouldn't know how to use a gun, much less how to defend themselves in
a real SHTF situation, which is just how the government wants us....

Stop believing the hype the only places it is dangerous in the US is in the places with the strictest gun bans Like LA and NY proving gun control
does not work. I live in Idaho with little to no gun laws and machine guns are even legal here etc. We have one of the lowest crime rates in the
country along with the other states that have little to no gun regulation. I can do all the things you do with no fear and I can do it armed with an
open carry pistol strapped to my side or rifle slung over my back if I want to. You idiots will wish you never gave up the guns when they start
rounding you up it was a stupid move and that is why you are derided for it...

That was almost 15 years ago. They are still doing it now.

Well put.Gone are the days where kids could shoot rabbits. where most everyone had a gun in the house, the car, at the back door.

I grew up learning to shoot, and handle weapons responsibly, In the eyes of the government, that makes me some psychopathic killer that waves around
my rifle in the air. They needed to take that away from us, and that is all these things are designed for, shock and awe weapons to quieten
down a populace that is fed up of being trodden down like slaves. Add to the fact that many 20+ers have never so much as held a gun, much less used
one. A weapon like this thing is perfect for people like that.

Someone asked in a previous post as to why they are so scared of us? It has nothing to do with disarming us, nothing to do with shutting us down. The
government knows full well we are a bunch of hoons just dying to get out, and that spirit we've had in every major conflict in the last 100 years
will rear up and bite them on the proverbials if tested. That's the true reaosn they get in stuff like this, in the vain hope it will show us whose
boss. Problem is, 40 tonnes of armor doesn't match anywhere near to a mob of pissed off Australians...

Calling us Aussies "idiots" because our government staged a false flag event to ban guns is like us calling Americans "idiots" for letting George
Bush get elected. You will only serve to piss us Aussies off when you get on your high horses and come at us like that. Mind your own damn business
and focus on fixing your own damn collapsing country, keep out of ours and our business please.

By the way, the claim that Americans keeping their guns so as to stave off corrupt government is total nonsense. What the hell are the pea-shooters
the people own going to do against a militarised police arsenal? Bugger all is my guess.
